Corcoran Needs You!!!

The last couple of years has been tough for the CNO. We had a complete turn over of staff, our renters committee has all but shut-down. A The Econ & Development, and Newspaper committees are down to just a few people each. Our board has several open positions. And after a hectic 2018 season the Market Committee and Advisory board needs fresh blood too.
There are several ways to volunteer with the CNO, either with one of our committees, serve on the board, help around the office. Run a community event. Volunteer with Market set up and take down. If you have questions, please contact Alicia the Executive Director at alicia@corcoranneighborhood.org. You can also attend the upcoming CNO board elections on June 13th.  You can meet current board members, Alicia the ED and vote for or run to hold a position on the board.
There are 3 At Large positions open as well as the position of Board chair and Vice-chair.
Please look for below for more on volunteering on our committees:
